It’s clear that the royal kiddos were told to at least try to keep a lid on their chatter when they stepped out onto the balcony, perhaps with a brief of behaving themselves and “looking up” to watch the planes and helicopters overhead.

It’s also clear that it’s impossible to fulfil this brief and that it’s tricky to be “good” on this famous balcony as the world watches on!

These photos (below) show Prince George being shooshed by his cousin Savannah in the very same way his aunt, Princess Beatrice, was once shooshed by her cousin, Prince Harry.

Keeping up with the Cambridges

Once Trooping the Colour was done and dusted, the next event was a family polo match and the Cambridges had it all going on:

Prince William was seen riding in the match and regaling the assembled spectators with princely tales.

A prettily frocked-up Duchess Kate revealed a new superpower, being photographed running downhill in wedges.

Prince George enjoyed a number of activities, including thrashing his sister in a race, playing with toy guns and handcuffs, showing off a really impressive drawing of a volcano and attempting to revive the slinky.

And Princess Charlotte? She did some barefoot running, wore some fetching sunnies and did a brilliant headstand!

Next up on the royal kiddo’s agenda? Prince Louis’ christening! It’s not clear yet exactly when this will be, but now that Trooping the Colour and Prince Philip’s birthday have been ticked off the list, we expect details will be imminent.
